This invention relates to improved clutch and drive mechanisms of the character used for driving generators, compressors, refrigeration machinery and the like employed on refrigerator cars, Pullman cars or other railway rolling stock.

More particularly the present invention relates to a novel safety clutch designed for use in a direct drive of the above mentioned character wherein the source of power comprises a wheel or axle of the vehicle upon which the auxiliary unit is mounted. The generator or likeunit is accordingly started and stopped as the vehicle is started and stopped. It is, therefore, desirable to provide a direct drive unit which is as light as possible, to lessen inertia and lighten the added demand on the tractive unit when starting, but which is capable of withstanding predetermined overloads incident to normal operation, yet, which will disrupt the driving connection when truly excessive and prolonged loads incident to abnormal operation are encountered.

It is, therefore, the primary object of the present invention to provide a direct drive from a wheel or axle of a. railway or like vehicle to an auxiliary unit such as a generator, compressor or the like, wherein the drive is light, strong enough to withstand normal or temporary overloads, yet, which will automatically release if abnormal excessive loads are encountered.

Attempts have been made to improve old or existing drives by providing, for example, frangible driving pins which are designed to shear when an undesirable overload of a predetermined magnitude is encountered. These drives, however, are unsatisfactory since the frangible pins are often sheared when normal overload equal to the predetermined magnitude are momentarily encountered. As an example, a normal overload of the character last mentioned would often result when a car is being coupled.

A further major object of this invention, therefore, resides in providing a clutch, for use in a drive of the character mentioned, with a torque transmitting member including connecting elements designed to withstand normal excessive loads but which will be automatically severed when abnormal excessive loads, such as excessive loads of long duration, are encountered. More specifically, an object of the present invention resides in providing a clutch with a torque transmitting member formed by two or more sections connected by special rivets designed to soften when excessive heat is generated by slippage of the .clutch due to the imposition of abnormal loads, thereby disrupting the driving connection and preventing major injury of the parts of the drive mechanism or the auxiliary unit driven thereby.

Another object of the present invention resides in the provision of a clutch utilizing higher pressures on the friction surface, due to the fact that it is a simple spring loaded clutch which is seldom used as a clutch and is never allowed to slip for any considerable period of time, yet, which is light and small to reduce inertia effects.

A further object of the present invention resides in providing a single plate clutch wherein the friction material is attached to the parts comprising thehousing so that the disk will act 'as a friction surface and as a consequence will quickly heat up when slippage occurs.

More broadly stated, it is an object of the present invention to provide a clutch designed for constant engagement which will slip under excessive load and if excessive load is maintained for an abnormal period of time will automatically complete the disruption of thedriving connection.

Another object of the present invention resideain providing a clutch, designed for constant engagement, with manual means normally maintained in an inoperative position but designed to be moved to effect the disconnection of the driving and driven elements of the clutch to thereby permit the unit driven thereby to be freely rotated for testing or like purposes.

A further object of the present invention resides in providing a clutch, of the character described, that may be quickly and easily opened or dismantled for replacement and repair purposes.

A still further object of the present invention resides in providing a clutch with means designed for cooperation with a novel tool which is used to remove the clutch from its supporting shaft.

-Additional objects will appear from the description when read in conjunction with the appended claims and the accompa ying drawings, wherein:

Figure 5 is a longitudinal sectional view, taken through a modified form of clutch made in accordance with the present invention.

with continued reference to the drawings wherein like reference characters are utilized throughout the several figures, and with particular reference to Figure 1, the numeral I0 is used to designate the clutch of the present invention in its entirety.

Clutch ||I comprises a clutch housing ll of general cup shape having an open side I2 and a substantially closed side including a wall l3. Wall I 3 adjacent its center is provided with an annular bearing seat l5 designed to receive a double ball or like bearing l6 of any suitable design. Bearing I6 is preferably of the oil sealed type, so that periodic lubrication thereof will be unnecessary.

An annular flange i1 is formed on the outer face of wall l3. The inner surface of flange l1 and the bounded surface l8 of wall l3 are preferably machined to provide a snug fit with plate |9 which is designedto fit within flange I1 and lie flush against surface l8. An annular boss 2| formed on the inner face of plate I9 is designed to abut the exposed edge 22 of the outer race of bearing l6 and clamp it against a similar boss 23 formed on inwardly directed flange 24 of wall l3. Suitable studs 25 having annular enlarged portions 26 fitting within recesses 21 in plate |9 secure plate I 9* to housing ll. Plate I9 and flange 24 are provided with aligned central openings 28 which receive sealing washers 29 designed to exclude dirt and foreign matter from the area surrounding bearing l6.

A gripping or reaction plate 3| having friction wear surfaces 32, preferably of low heat conductivity, secured thereto by means of rivets 33, or the like, is designed to be mounted in housing H. To this end housing is provided with apertures 34 and recesses 35. While any desired number of apertures and recesses may be employed, it is preferable to provide four apertures and eight recesses. Suitable springs 36 having one end disposed in recesses 35 and their opposite ends disposed in similar recesses 31 formed in plate 3| are disposed between plate 3| and wall I3 of housing Bolts 38 having their heads 39 secured in apertures 4| formed in plate 3| extend through apertures 34 provided in housing II and receive castellated nuts 42. Nuts 42, at this time, are preferably threaded on bolts 38 into abutting engagement with bosses 43 formed on the outer surface of wall l3. Continued threading of nuts 42 draws plate 3| toward wall l3 and compresses springs 36 to maintain plate 3| and springs 36 in position within housing Although bolts 38 may be utilized to maintain the several parts in the relation described, it is to be understood that this is not the primary function of bolts 38. Accordingly, any other suitable means may be employed to retain plate 3| and springs 36 in their proper position while the rest of the clutch is being assembled. Since plate 3| is designed to rotate with housing it is essential that a suitable driving connection between these members be provided. For this purpose plate 3| is provided with peripheral notches 44 which are designed to receive heads 45 of driving pins 46 which are secured in apertures 41 formed in suitable bosses 46 on the periphery of housing II. It is contemplated that any desired number of driving pins may be used although four such pins are preferred. Such a driving connection is well known in the clutch art and does not constitute a part of the present invention, since, any other suitable connection between these parts may be employed.

A hub 5| having a reduced end 52 is inserted from the open side |2 of housing Reduced end 62 is designed to effect a forced fit within inner race 53 ofbearing I6. An enlarged portion 54 is provided on hub 6| adjacent its reduced end and performs two functions, namely, to limit the insertion of hub 5| within bearing |6 due to its abutment with inner race 53 and to cooperate with seal 29 of flange 24 to prevent dust, or other harmful substances from entering the area surrounding bearing I 6. Hub 5| adjacent portion 64 is provided with raised splines 55 which are designed to cooperate with the novel torque transmitting member 56 of the present invention.

Member 56 comprises a hub 51 having splines 58 designed to cooperate with splines 55 of hub 5|. Hub 51 is provided with an outwardly extending annular flange 59 in which a plurality of apertures 6| are provided. Adjacent the inner edge of flange 69 a shallow seat 62 is formed and functions to receive and center friction disk 63. Disk 63 is provided with apertures 64 which are aligned with and correspond in number and size to apertures 6|. As seen in Figure 1, disk 63 extends beyond flange 59 to engage with facing 32 of plate 3|.

Hub 51 and disk 63 are secured together by rivets 66 which are designed to be positioned in apertures 6| and 64. Rivets 66 are preferably formed of any suitable metal or metal alloy such, for example, as zinc combined with relatively small percentages of one or more metals such as tin, copper and aluminum-which exhibits reasonably high resistance to shearing forces at normal temperatures whilehaving a sufilciently low melting point to permit disk 63 and hub 51 to function to transmit driving torque only until the heat due to abnormal slippage has weakened or softened the rivets and thereby lowered their shear resistance to a point where disk 63 and hub 51 are disconnected. It will be appreciated that the material used for rivets 66 as well as the rivet sizes may be varied according to the size of the clutch and the loads to be transmitted, and also that other types of destructible connections may be substituted 'for the rivets-for example the clutch plate and hub may be joined by solder which will afford a disrupted connection under abnormal temperature conditions. In the disclosed embodiment of the invention the material used preferably has a melting point within a temperature range between 500 F. and 800 F., but it is possible to select materials that have thermal shear points within the range 200 F.-1000 F. for satisfactory results under various conditions.

A cover plate 1| having friction facings 12, of material like that used for facings 32, secured thereto by rivets 13, is provided for closing side I 2 of housing Suitable cap screws 14 secure cover H to flange 15 of housing ll. Friction facings 12, as seen from Figure 1, are disposed in alignment with facings 32 and the peripheral portion of disk 63. Due to the novel disposition of facings 32 and 12 on either side of disk 63, the heat' due to slippage of clutch II will be confined to disk 53 to thereby assure the transmission of the generated heat to rivets 55.

Cover II is provided with a central aperture I5 in which a'seal ring 11, designed to prevent entrance of foreign matter into the interior of 'between faces 32 and I2. Since the present clutch is designed to operate as a constantly engaged clutch, nuts 42 are backed oif a suflicient distance to preclude their contacting bosses 43 during normal clutch operation. A suitable locking' pin I8, such as a cotter pin, is provided for retaining nuts 42 in their normal inoperative position.

Clutch I8 in its present stage of assembly forms a constantly engaged clutch, i. e.,. a clutch which is maintained in engagement under normal operating conditions. Clutch I8 may be conveniently connected to either a driving or driven shaft in the following manner. Hub 5 I is provided with a central, tapered bore 8I which is designed to receive a correspondingly tapered end 82 of a shaft 83, which in the present form of the invention, constitutes the armature shaft of a generator 84. Generator 84, as shown in Figure 3, is connected to the underside of a rail car or other like vehicle by means of U-bolts or straps 86. A suitable keyway 81 formed by complemental grooves 88 and 88 in hub 5| and tapered end 82 of shaft 83 receives a key 8|, which serves to connect hub 5I and shaft 83 in driving relation.

A suitably tapped nut 84 having an abutment shoulder 85 is threaded on the end 85 of shaft 83 for the purpose of retaining clutch I8 upon shaft 83. Shoulder 85 is designed to engage inner race 53 of bearing I5 to securely clamp bearing race 53 against enlarged portion 54 of hub 5I and force clutch I8 upon tapered end 82 of shaft 83. The peripheral face 81 of nut 84 adjacent shoulder 85 engages seal 28 to prevent foreign matter from reaching bearing I5 or the interior of clutch I 8. Recesses 88 are provided in nut 84 and are designed to receive a suitable spanner wrench or other like tool for properly tightening nut 84.

A split lock washer IN is provided for use with nut 84 and is designed to cooperate with a lock nut I83 to provide a novel locking assembly designed to function in the following manner: After nut 84 is screwed home washer I8I is disposed in bore I82 and nut I83 is threaded therein forcing washer I8I against rounded end I85 of shaft 83. As nut I83 is tightened, shaft 83 is forced to the left and nut 84 is forced to the right, as seen in Figure 1. This action wedges the mating threads of shaft 83 and nut 94 to effect the locking of nut 84. At the same time, washer IN is clamped between rounded end I85 of shaft 83 and end of nut I83. As a result of this clamping action, the ends of split washer I8I bite into rounded end I85 of shaft 83 and end I85 of nut I83 to lock nut I83 in place. It will be clear, therefore, that this novel assembly serves to lock both nuts 84 and I83 in their final adjusted positions.

With clutch I8 secured to armature shaft 83 as described above, housing II is connected to a facings 32 and I2.

driving member III which, in the present application, comprises housing II2 of a universal joint I I3 of any suitable construction. Although member III is here described as a driving member, it will be apparent that member I I I may be a driven member when shaft 83 is connected, as may be desirable, but not shown, to a driving unit.

Housing H2 is preferably secured to clutch I8 by nuts II4 which are threaded on threaded ends I I5 of studs 25. Ends I I5 are designed to protrude through suitable apertures II5 provided in flange II! of housing II2. Apertures II5 are designed for alignment with studs 25 in order that these studs may serve the dual function of securing plate I8 to housing II and housing II 2 to clutch I8. The othermember-of universal joint II3-is connected to a drive shaft I2I in any well known manner.

Shaft I2I is connected through a second uni versal joint I22 and a power take-off unit I25 to a source of power, which, as disclosed in the present application, is axle I23 of traction wheels I 24. Axle I23 and wheels I24 form parts of railcar truck I25 which may be connected in conventional manner to car 85.

Operation member 55 between friction facings 32 and I2 to establish a normally unyielding connection between the driving and driven members of clutch I8. As a consequence. shaft 83 and armature of generator 84 are accelerated to generate electric current for supplying the necessary power for lights, fans or other auxiliary equipment carried by car 85.

In order that the drive connection between generator 84 and wheels I24 will slip when abnormal resistance to rotation is encountered, springs 35 are preferably made of a strength sufficient to maintain non-slipping engagement of facings 32 and I2 with member 56 only under normal load conditions, i. e.. the load to be overcome in driving armature 84 to efficiently generate current. It will. therefore, be apparent that any normal overload, such as that encountered character ment oned. however. will be of short duration and as a conseouence the cr tical emperature necessary for softening rivets 56 will not be'reached.

If, on the other hand. the armature should jam or the power line should be excessively overloaded for a period of long duration. or the driven elements of the clutch should for any other reason have excess loads imposed thereon for an abnormal period of time, clutch I8 will slip substantially continuously and the heat generated will be substantially localized in the disk 53 and very rapidly conducted therethrough for concentration adjacent the rivets untilthe critical temperature is reached at the rivets. Upon the attainment of this critical temperature rivets 88 will soften and the strain incident to disk 55 drivinghub 5'! will Normal excess loads of the shear them and disrupt the drive connection. Disk 56 will then remain in engagement with facings 32 and I2 but no torque will be transmitted therefrom to hub 51 and the driven members connected thereto. The novel clutch provided by this invention will, therefore, satisfactorily transmit torque under normal loads and overloads, and disrupt the transmitting connection when abnormal excessive loads are encountered, thereby preventing serious damage to the generator or any of the driving or driven mechanism.

After clutch I6 has disrupted the driving connection in the manner described above, car 85 may be side-tracked and the cause of the clutch failure may be ascertained and corrected. After the necessary repairs to the generator or other unit have been completed, clutch I6 is disconnected from universal joint II3, removed from shaft 83 and plate 63, with rivets 66 intact, replaced. In order that clutch I6 may be expeditiously serviced the present invention provides a novel tool I 3| for disassociating the clutch and shaft 83.

Tool I3|, as shown in Figure 4, comprises a body portion I32 having a central bore I33 and a reduced threaded portion I34 adjacent one of its ends. The other end of body portion I 32 has a central threaded opening I35 of a lesser diameter than bore I33. Opening I35 is designed to threadedly receive a bolt I 36 having a hexagonal head I31 and a conical, hardened tip I38. Bolt I 36 is preferably of sufllcient length to extend through bore I33 with tip I38 protruding beyond threaded end I34 before bolt I36 reaches its extreme position.

In using tool I 3 Iuniversal jointhousing I I 2,locknut I63, and nut 94 are removed. Threaded portion I34 of tool I3| is then inserted in the opening resulting from the removal of nut 94, and threads I34 are engaged with threads I provided within bore 8| of hub At this time, bolt I36 is in its retracted position with tip I38 well within the confines of bore I33. Body portion I32 is then securely engaged with hub 5| by use of a suitable wrench which is designed to flt the preferably hexagonal outer surface I42 of body I32.

After hub 5| and tool I3| are securely engaged bolt I36 is advanced by means of a wrench designed to fit head I31. Tip I38 due to the advancement of bolt I36 engages end I65 of shaft 83 and upon continued operation of bolt I 36 forces hub 5| and shaft 83 in opposite directions. This relative movement of shaft 83 and hub 5| results in axial movement of' clutch I6 due to the contact between enlarged portion 54 of hub 5| and bearing race 53 of bearing I6. After clutch I6 ismoved sufficiently to break the tight connection with shaft 83, clutch I6 with tool I3I secured thereto may be grasped with the hands and removed. It will be apparent that clutch I6 is singularly designed for use with tool I3I and as a consequence means for expeditious disassembly of clutch I6 and shaft 83 is provided by this novel construction of hub 5| and tool I3I.

With clutch I6 removed as pointed out above, a new clutch may be substituted and connected to shaft 83 and universal joint II 3, thereby rendering car 85 ready for immediate use. If desired, clutch I6 may be provided with a new member 56 in a very short time merely by disengaging plate 3| by operation of nuts 42 on bolts I38. To accomplish this, nuts 42 are screwed down upon bosses 43. Plate 3| through bolt heads 39 will be drawn toward wall I3 of housing I I at the same time compressing springs 36. After plate 3I and disk 83 are disengaged cover II may be removed and a new torque transmitting member 68 inserted. Upon replacing cover II and releasing plate 3| by reverse operation of nuts 42 the old clutch will be ready for immediate use and may be again connected in driving relation between shaft 83 and universal joint II3.

Fromthe above description. it will be clear, that, due to the novel clutch construction and its simple connections to shaft 83 and drive shaft I2I, the present invention makes it possible to rapidly and easily replace or repair clutch I6. The only elements of clutch I6 that will be damaged when trouble is encountered are rivets 8|. As a consequence no heavy expensive clutch parts need be kept on hand since new rivets 6| may be inserted to connect the disk 63 and hub 61 and clutch I6 will again be ready for use.

While bolts 38 and nuts 42 have been described as being used in originally assembling clutch I6 or for replacing member 66, their primary function is to provide a ready declutching means for permitting generator 84 or any other unit connected in place thereof, to be freely rotated for test, repair or adjustment purposes. Under such circumstances nuts 42 are operated as described above to disengage member 56 by withdrawing plate 3|. Generator 84, shaft 83 and member 66 may then be freely rotated for any desired purpose. 1

Although clutch I6 has been described for use with a generator or like drive, it will be apparent that it may be used wherever a slipping clutch is desired. In this connection, it is to be understood that the material used in manufacturing rivets 6| may be chosen so that it will withstand the normal temperatures resulting from slippage of member 56 in the particular combination in which clutch I6 is used. It will also be appreciated that bolts 38 may be utilized in connection with any well known throwout bearing construction to convert clutch I6 from a constant engagement clutch to a manually controlled closed clutch.

In order to expedite the removal and replacement of the driven plate, the modified structure shown in Figure 5 is provided, and in many cases is preferable to the other form. In this form of the invention clutch la is turned end for end so that cover 'II is disposed to the right. Since the major parts of the clutch are the same the same reference numerals will be used to indicate these parts in the description of the present modification.

Clutch |6a comprises a clutch housing I I which, like that previously described, includes a wall I3 and a bearing seat I5 for receiving a hearing I 6. A flange I1, snugly receiving a plate I9a similar in function to the plate I3 of the previously described form, is also provided. Cap screws I45 secure plate |3a in place within the flange I1. Reaction plate 3| having friction wear surfaces 32, of low heat conductivity and secured to the plate by means of rivets 35, is mounted in housing II in the manner previously described.

A hub 5Ia having an enlarged annular flange I46 is inserted through opening 28 in flange 24 of wall I3. The flange I46 is designed to abut one end of inner race 53 of bearing I6 which is carried on hearing seat I41 provided on hub 6|a. Hub 5|a adjacent the other end of race 53 is suitably threaded at I48 to receive a nut I 49 which is tightened to securely clamp race 53 of bearing I6 against flange I46 and secure hub 5| a to bearing IS. A suitable lock washer I5I retains nut I49 in adjusted position.

The end of hub 5Ia opposite flange I46 is provided with suitable splines I53 the outer edges of which are slightly offset with respect to hearing seat Ill inorder that hub 5Ia may be readily inserted in bearing I6. Splines I53 are adapted to receive splines 58 of torque transmitting member 56 in the manner previously described. After member 56 has been assembled, the cover II with its friction face I2 attached thereto is secured in place over open side I2 by means of suitable cap screws H which are threaded into bosses I5 formed on housing II.

Clutch Ilia is then connected, by means of tapered bore BI in hub 5Ia, to the drive shaft 83 in the manner previously described. With clutch Ilia connected to shaft 83 cover 'II is connected to housing II2 of universal joint II3. Suitable cap screws I54 threaded into cover 'II secure cover 1| to universal joint H3.

In the event member 58 of modified clutch Illa is disrupted during operation in the manner previously described, its replacement can be very expeditiously accomplished by merely loosening screws I4 and sliding universal joint housing II! and cover 'II along the usual longitudinal universal joint splines until cover II clears nut I03. Cover II and universal joint II3 may then be moved out of alignment with housing II and the necessary replacements in clutch IOa may be made through the exposed open side I2. Accord ingly, the present form of the invention provides a very convenient arrangement for inspecting the clutch mechanism, or for removing and replacing the clutch plate or other internal parts.

The invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof. The present embodiments are therefore to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, the scope of the invention being indicated by the appended claims rather than by the foregoing description, and all changes which come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are therefore intended to be embraced therein.
